Heidi's Mountain Retreat -Enjoy Fall Colors and new spa sauna room.

In the midst of a Southern California's Los Padres National Forest, and only 1 ½ hour drive north from Downtown Los Angeles, rests a private golf, tennis, hiking, mountain community with its small shops and restaurants. Within a short walk from the village center, golf course and club house is our house waiting for your group to get together. It snows typically December - March. Roads are well plowed & cindered but you have to be prepared with chains and/or 4WD vehicle. You may have to use our snow shovels at the house to clear doorways and pathways after a storm. Our side yards have a gentle slope and perfect for kids to sled. We offer 7 bedrooms and a loft. Two of the bedrooms are in a separate guest unit below the main house.
The bunk room sleeps 4, kids' favorite. The house has vaulted ceilings, 3 fireplaces (2 in master bedrooms), 5 bathrooms one with infrared sauna that fits 4 people, (jetted tub off), beautiful large kitchen open to living/dining area, BBQ, huge deck overlooking the mountain view. Bring your family and friends and just enjoy your stay!
The house is non-smoking. You may smoke outside and on the deck.

Here's a full description of the property:
Entry is thru a foyer to an entry which opens up to the open kitchen on the right and living area w/ fireplace & dining area. The common space utilizes the “great-room” concept. Bedrooms & baths are along a hall to the left and below the great-room area downstairs. The living space opens up to a full house-length deck overlooking the back yard all the way to Apache Saddle Mountains in distance. This is a beautiful mountain view with its colorful sunsets. On the deck we have a table w/ seating. A staircase leads from the deck to the flat large back yard and the guest unit. There are 2 more entry doors to the deck from the house; from BR 3 & 5. BR 5 has a seating area. There is a very long picnic table, a kids' play house and swing in the back yard, and a propane BBQ grill in the side yard. In the front yard we have a small deck with a table & chairs for two, and a table w/ lawn chairs. Parking is on a mostly flat circular drive-way in front of the house for up to 8 cars.

We enjoyed this large home with our large family. It was great to have space for parents, grandparents, and kids - indoors and outdoors. Heidi clearly defined the rules of the home, and was responsive to our questions. Although there was no air conditioning, with the breeze and fans going, we were able to keep the rooms cool. PMC is a great community to visit.

Quiet neighborhood. Quick walk to the general store. This home has two refrigerators and it was great for our 4 families. One of the bedrooms has a curtain ilo a door, something to consider adding. We had a good time.

What a marvellous place; the cutesey mountain town with shops, bakery, etc. And the house: wow! That is not a cabin but a mansion; Althogh luxury also appropriately rustic. Perfect for large groups with a "removed" stress free athmosphere.

8/10

The house fit our large group nicely. It was in mid-July, so the days were in the low 80’s and the house got quite warm in the daytime. The house does not have AC. The nights cooled off and were beautiful.

We had an excellent stay at this property. The house has a ton of rooms and beds and was comfortable for our group of 10. It is not super fancy, but was just what we were looking for. Please note there are extra charges for towels and for not cleaning up at the end (ie putting away dishes, cleaning stove), but these are spelled out in the book with info on the coffee table. I would recommend taking Heidi’s advice on keeping food out of your car as our neighbor left their car unlocked and a bear got in and totaled the car. We also saw a bear on property one evening . The club had lots of events and a fun pool to hang out and fishing poles to borrow.

Every year, I rent a cabin for my birthday, I invite some of my family and friends who are as good as family.The good:The kitchen had ample counter space, lots of plates/silverware, and a 2nd fridge/freezer. The owner did acknowledge most of the issues below and did try fixing the oven.The bad: Listing was for 7 bedrooms; but we found only 4 usable bedrooms and 1 partially converted living room. The 6th and 7th bedroom were completely unlivable; it was a converted basement apartment with major moisture issues. The living room conversion had a curtain and no wall or door separating all the foot traffic passing by. We had to have people staying in the kid beds and sleeping on the couch. We had 8 meals planned and the oven was broken; we had to broil everything or come up with different meals. The only family tv is in the dining room and had a broken dvd player. The dining room table only seats 6, but the cabin sleeps 16, though there are chairs at the kitchen counter. Safety-wise, there were several missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, or they were missing batteries. The metal fireplace screen in the living room was broken into two jagged pieces. Visitors aren't allowed to use the laundry room. The non-stick pans in the kitchen were so badly damaged, they are unsafe. Towels were also an extra charge. No partial refund was offered, which would have gone a long way to alleviating some of the discomfort. I will not be returning to this cabin.

We led our young adult group from our church on a weekend retreat. The check-in process was easy and Heidi's place was better looking than the VRBO pictures implied. We enjoyed our weekend away, hiking, playing card/board games, making and eating lots of good food, and having good times of discussion around the Bible. Our only critiques were the two empty propane tanks for the outdoor BBQ. We went to the general store to refill, but they were out of propane. Also, the second master suite's bed appeared to be unwashed, with hairs on the sheets and a slight odor. The downstairs apartment's bed also seemed to have been either untouched for quite awhile or unwashed. Last, the pictures on VRBO showed the bunk room with two full bunks, but that is no longer the case. However, I'd return here with a large group in a heartbeat since the place really was quiet and peaceful, the large kitchen was great, and the community and weather was perfect. Thanks Heidi!

This is a great big funky house that is great for large gatherings. There are tons of rooms and bathrooms, so nobody feels like they are on top of each other and the living spaces are big enough for everyone to eat and play together. Heidi is also a great host - very responsive and accommodating and she sends you lots of good info on the house and the surrounding area before you get there. What some of the other reviewers have said is all true - one bedroom (bizarrely) has only a curtain for a door, the carpets are really dirty, there aren't sheets on the beds when you get there and you have to search all over the house to try to find ones that fit the beds (this is no simple task - none of them match, most are super threadbare or rayon(?), and there are very few blankets to go around), and the internet connection goes out constantly - but this is a giant, funky cabin in the middle of the woods that can house a huge group at a great price, so who cares? None of those things took away from the fun of our trip and we would recommend the house to future renters who aren't super picky about these sorts of things. Thanks, Heidi!

While we really enjoyed our stay and had a great time, There were a few concerns mentioned here for the sake of improvement. 1. The walkway to house entrance is made of concrete with large rocks sticking out a few inches, making it a rough surface creating trip hazard especially when moving stuff in and out. Recommend smoothening up the walkway. 2. Not enough useable shower towels in the bathrooms. There were some towels in the lower cabinets but they were marked: "for emergency use when the floors flood" meaning they were not hygienically clean and useable. 3. Paper towels were missing in the kitchen cabinets and other areas. We had to buy some for out needs. 4. Largest master bedroom was separated from the hallway only by a curtain, not enough privacy. recommend adding a door. 5. Downstairs suite was unknown to us until we contacted the agent and asked about it.

Overall the owner was super friendly and kept in touch making sure we were ok. But make sure you DO NOT rent this during the summer, NO AC, the house gets very very warm. Yes we have been having heatwaves, but still gets very warm even on the days that wasn't as hot outside. Carpet in bedrooms which makes it worse, so if you hate heat, avoid at all costs. The fans are very old and super dusty, they definitely need replaced and they don't work that well. The cleanliness wasn't up to par, especially with the fee paid for cleaning, wish i could've got a refund on that,because the house is very dusty, cobwebs everywhere, just in general didn't feel clean. We had to clean bathrooms, as there was hair I'm assuming from previous guests around the sink and shower floors, kind of disgusting. Overall the house is dated, needs a lot of upgrades, but if you don't mind the dated feel then by all means go for it. The only area that felt semi ok was the bedroom downstairs, it was the coolest room, i mean technically its converted basement, but expect a strong odor in that area, smelled like it hasn't been opened for years. Room sprays wont help either, again very dated and dusty. Giving 3 stars for the owner as stated very friendly and communicative and neighborhood.

We gathered here for a college roommate reunion with our littles. The owner was kind and highly responsive. Unfortunately the concerns listed in previous reviews were evident in our stay as well. The state of the home including cleanliness and needed repairs made it challenging to find clean and safe spots for little ones to play. Additionally it should be noted there are only 5 private bedrooms. Overall we enjoyed our visit & time together. Knowing this could be a beautiful home, we’re hopeful this feedback improves the cleaning protocols and experience for the next group.

The property is set up for large groups. Lots of beds, lots of extra chairs, lots of picnic table space outside, two refrigerators, plenty of parking. It's also quite family friendly, with toys and other kids-focused items. The pool and the nearby park were great excursions for our group. Heidi was very helpful and easy to work with. Note the space and furnishings are quite lived-in and well-worn. If you are looking for austere arrangement, impecable repair, or high quality housewares, look elsewhere. It's mountain rustic, as many cabins are. Overall, grateful for the experience we had.
